  new layout. yeah. two layouts in one day, apparently i have no life. but i couldn't stand the other one. this one i like. i dont love love love it like i did the last one, but i think its better than what i had before. plus i love vectors on layouts.

  there is no new art by the way. just the layout. but the stuff i put up yesterday is pretty new yet.

  and im still doing a sotm starting january, and a blog.

[ 4 desktop blends. 1 vexel. new layout. ]

  so i actually hate this layout. but it was time for a change. it is so not what i was hoping it would turn out like, but whatever. expect a new one soon, because this one makes me gag. haha. except that i can not seem to come up with anything good lately. i dont know. ive lost my touch or something. :(

  for this update there are four new collage thingys, and a new vexel which i half like, half hate. i changed the "me" section to "grey" because i needed a place for stuff about the site itself, aswell as me. i also updated the currently part if yall wanna know what im upto, and i made layouts its own tab, because i really want it to be a bigger part of the site.

  and finally i have added new things to track viewing on here, because i would love to know more about the hits i get. so i added the onestat.com feature, and im typing this from an html kit thing, that helps produce html documents. and holy crap i had no idea that it could be this easy. like seriously, i used to just work off notepad and my ftp. what was i thinking? haha.

  for the new year im going to add a blog, so i can ramble on in there and not mix it up with these updates. im also going to have a site of the month section, because i really would like to start showcasing my fav affiliates. not that they all aren't amazing because they are! haha.

  oh. and today i bought my cat a holiday collar. its like a hair scrunchie its red and white and has bells on it. she hates it. i love it. she's santa paws! bahaha.

  your comments are love. thanks for all the great comments and tags! <3

[ 6 desktop blends. 1 stock layout. ]

  so i promise to put a new layout up soon. because even though i still really love this one, it's getting kind of dusty. ive also got some new things to add that will moniter traffic on here, and let me know some stats, which im really excited about! so that will be next. along with a site of the month section to begin in the new year. and i think i might start a blog section. for stuff that is not really related to site updates. but i dont know how much they get read. just a thought

  there are six new desktop size layouts, and one new stock layout. im not thrilled about it but thats okay. oh! and im about to do an affie clean up, ive already notified those who have not linked me, and next update if i have not heard back they will be deleted. sorry but that is how its got to be! anyways thats pretty much it! as always i love to hear your lovely comments.

[ 3 desktop blends. 7 stock photos. 1 new section. ]

  update! one month from xmas exactly, seems too soon, feels like summer was over about yesterday. anyways this was going to be a small update, but i added a whole new section. there is now a page just for stock layouts, these are free layouts that i have made that are up for grabs. i'd love feedback on this section!

  also there are some new stock photos taken at a park, and three new desktop blends. also one new affie, Wild Honey. She has great stuff so be sure check her out! thats all for now! sign the tagboard!

  some small art updates this time. three new desktop sized blends that i like, two colorizations; one of which i like, the other isn't very good. i also added 2 backgrounds that can be found under the 'you' section. the difference [for me] between backgrounds and desktop blends is that backgrounds aren't fan art. they are just presets and vector type images, whereas desktops are fan art. that's just how i separate them.  there are also a big bunch of new affiliates listed. they are all great and all deserve a visit! id list them but there are seriously like 11 of them.. love them all though!   id just like to say thank you to all those who gave me a halloween gift! much appreciated. and i hope everyone had a great halloween. i cant believe how soon christmas is coming! im kind of excited already haha. well that's it for this time. tag me!

  i've updated some small things over the past week or so, just trying to make my artfolio a little bit better. there is a new "currently" section under the 'me' section that has what i'm currently upto, and i've tweaked the affiliates part by making a different page for the 'linkme' info. the affiliates are also now ordered alphabetically and have the artist's name beside the site name.

  i've added 3 new blends that are desktop size, and one so-so colorization; a process i'm still trying to get used to! i'm still hoping to update a bit more during the week. i have a pattern and a brushes set that will be added soon, and i really want to start building some stock layouts to make available.

  and three new affiliates are on the site! check out anita@epilogue, a great artist with a great style, J.j@more adventurous whose stuff is really inspiring, and marilyne@shadow of the day who has a really great and unique style. all three have really great work! and i guess that is all! i would really love to hear from everyone about what they think of the site and what i could improve on and make better! tag me!

  t&g is officially back! yay! It's been way too long. I was going to update with a new version about a month ago but then, sadly, my computer died. So by the time I got a new laptop, started school, and got all of my files transferred, it was way past due :P Since I was away such a long time, I definately have to get back on track. I lost some great affiliates unfortunately, but I hope to make some new ones!

  Some new things! I've got two blends, a colorization, and some stock photos! I'll be updating rapidly this week to keep up with what I've missed. ah. so glad that this is back!

  I'm also going to try out some new sections over the next while or so... I'm hoping to create a section where I can (very cheaply, I'm still new to all this!) sell off some premade layouts/backgrounds. I'm not sure how successful other people are in this, so I'd love feedback from anyone, on whether I should put energy into it/what I should do, etc.

  Anyways that's all for now! please tell me what's on your mind! tag or comment! Ciao :)

Not Much

  It's June!! But today it's really cold, like 10 degrees celcius. cold for June. I think it might rain. hmm.. but as for the site, not so much to report right now, ive got 2 new blends, 3 awards, and 1 stock photograph. I'm just very busy right now, and I just don't really feel like blending and stuff right now.

  Also, I think that I'm growing tired of this layout already. ugh. I wish i could find one that I liked for like, 3 months. But I have some ideas for something new, but it might be a while before I get to it, again it's all drawing. I prefer drawing especially on layouts, it just feels more personal. I try to stay away from celebs because I don't feel a connection to celebs in a layout, i like when it's original, hence the drawing now.

  So that's pretty much it. Oh also welcome one new affiliate, make sure to check it out, it's pretty awesome! That seems to be all for now, I'd love any comments.
